Greetings... Time to try out this mailing list with some information on how Cosm is progressing. Status: ------- The OS/CPU layer API should be finished and is being peer reviewed by as many people as we can convince to take a look. Implementation is about 95% done, and only a few functions are still unfinished. As far as porting, Solaris, Irix, OSF, Linux, BeOS, most of Win32, and small parts of MacOS are now done. We are looking for programmers with a good understanding of MacOS, Win32, and any other OS's to do porting. The Utility layer is about 1/2 done. The unfinished code relates to compression, cryptography, time, benchmarking, and GUI. If you have experience programming in those areas we could use the assistance. We need people with specific skills in crypto implementation and OpenGL/windowing interfaces. Once these layers are finished, and the porting is done, we can start using them to build Cosm itself. Press: ------ Cosm has been mentioned in the press several times in the last few months including: Forbes: (Nov 15th issue) http://www.forbes.com/forbes/99/1115/6412226s1.htm MIT Technology Review TR100: http://www.techreview.com/tr100/profile.php3?Beberg Le Monde Interactif: (in French) http://www.lemonde.fr/article/0,2320,seq-2206-33065-MIA,00.html Golem News Network: (in German) http://www.itnews.de/9904/99042603-ck.html Current Work: ------------- As usual, the CVS archive is where coding takes place, and you can get the latest copy of the code and docs from there. The CVS info and links to tutorials are at http://cosm.mithral.com/cvs.html We also chat about Cosm and other things in #cosm on IRC EFNet. More IRC info is at http://cosm.mithral.com/comm.html If you speak a language other then English natively, then we could also use your help. Translations of the web site are needed, and later translation will be needed for chapters and applications. - Adam L.
